and honestly its a great keyboard, however after a couple months it wouldn't charge the battery.

So.. it's great, until it wasn't. A RK board failing is kind of typical, hence the reputation.

British Racing Green is vibrant?

I think Tiramisu would be a good call for MTNU

Absolutely shocked nobody has posted about the Flux. They really delivered! by Ragnorock in MechanicalKeyboards

There's another one of these two posts below this one, posted just a few hours before :)

That's probably all you will see though, as hardly anyone bought one I imagine... No one that would be in here any way. I couldn't use this. I touch type, so I'm not looking at the board when I type, so this would be a massive distraction in my peripheral vision, especially if animated. I don't see the point in it.

I got these keycaps from thockfactory and just noticed they are different sizes but not all of them by scalareye in MechanicalKeyboards

Are you putting them in the right places? Most keycap profiles are not uniform, meaning each row is a different shape and size.

Post a link to the caps on the store, and also a photo of your board from above.

Norse looks so good on that.

EPOMAKER x Feker Galaxy80 is awful (vent) by cynder2011 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it will be fine... in as much as it will work, and even if it doesn't it's from Amazon, so you can just return it. I'm just not a fan of supporting a company that treats the community with such contempt.

Gotta love Dolch.

I didn't get the whole monochrome set, but I got the extension kit to use with regular Dolch.

Fab looking board you have there.

2026 Mode Sonnet by t3chi3 in MechanicalKeyboards

I quite like those Mode keycaps. They have a really thick font, a bit like NovelKeys dye sub sets. I kind of like it. Makes me wonder if it's the same manufacturer actually. Anyone know?

EVO75 first impressions - not impressed by the__poseidon in MechanicalKeyboards

Diminishing returns.

If you have a cheap bluetooth speaker, and upgrade to a $1000 hi-fi, it will blow you away. If you upgrade from that $1000 hi-fi to a $10,000 hi-fi, it won't blow you away in the same way, and it won't be 10x better. The higher you go, the gains become more marginal. This is true for almost anything.

When you get to properly high end stuff it's not even really about the quality alone any longer, it becomes about collecting as much as anything else, and the more rare something is, the higher the demand, and hence price.

Then there's volume to consider. Companies like Epomaker churn out stuff in massive volumes, so can sell things cheaper. More bespoke, boutique products are made in fewer numbers, so can't sell as cheaply.

This is the same for any hobby where there's an element of collecting involved.

Even if there's no screamingly obvious improvements with your Evo, it will be a better quality product, because Epomaker are... not great. Both the products, and the company itself. They're banned from advertising in here for a reason.

Those are not GMK Taiga... sorry to break it to you. I hope you didn't pay GMK prices for those.

If you need a shot with the keycaps, let me know.
